Principal-level data architecture and engineering leader specializing in cloud lakehouse, streaming, and governance.
What I'm looking for
I am a principal-level data architect and engineering leader with over 10 years of experience designing enterprise-scale data ecosystems across healthcare, consulting, and global organizations. I focus on modern lakehouse architectures, distributed systems, and scalable ETL/ELT frameworks using Spark, Databricks, Kafka, Snowflake, and Delta Lake.
I lead cloud modernization initiatives across Azure, AWS, and GCP, implementing batch and real-time ingestion pipelines, streaming architectures, and event-driven patterns to improve scalability, reliability, and performance. I drive governance, lineage, metadata automation, and data quality programs using Purview, Great Expectations, DataHub, and MonteCarlo.
My hands-on work includes building BI-ready datasets, semantic layers, and analytics models for Power BI, Tableau, and Looker, and delivering secure, compliant healthcare data solutions (HIPAA, GDPR). I have a track record of influencing architectural direction, mentoring engineering teams, and defining platform standards.
I partner with product, clinical, and analytics stakeholders to translate business needs into production data platforms, reduce platform costs, and accelerate decision-making through robust data products and operational best practices.
